CORROSION OF CONFORMITY Discusses Working With Producer John Custer In Part Two Of Ongoing No Cross No Crown Video Blog Series

On January 12th, 2018, CORROSIONOFCONFORMITY will release their long-anticipated new full-length No Cross No Crown. Set for release via Nuclear Blast Entertainment, the record marks the first recording with vocalist/guitarist Pepper Keenan in over a decade.

As a precursor to its release, the band is pleased to debut part two of a multi-part view blog series. In the latest clip, the band discusses working with longtime producer John Custer and more.

CORROSIONOFCONFORMITY‘S No Cross No Crown will be released via Nuclear Blast Entertainment worldwide on CD, digital, vinyl, and cassette formats. Various pre-order bundles are currently available at THIS LOCATION.

CORROSIONOFCONFORMITY‘s No Cross No Crown somehow sounds as though no time has passed between 2005’s In The Arms Of God and today. The band cut No Cross No Crown in about forty days over the course of a year. Some of these new jams sound like they could’ve easily appeared on Wiseblood or Deliverance, two ofCORROSIONOFCONFORMITY‘s most revered records. Beefy Southern stompers like “The Luddite,” “Little Man,” and “Forgive Me” are interspersed with melancholy guitar interludes like “No Cross,” “Matre’s Diem,” and “Sacred Isolation” – just like Sabbath used to do in the ’70s. “We started doing that on Deliverance,” Keenan points out. “My theory on that is that if you’re trying to make a record flow, you need to break it up a little. When you need a breather, write an interlude. I like writing those mellow pieces just to space things out and make the next thing come in heavier.”

No Cross No Crown stands as irrefutable proof ofCORROSIONOFCONFORMITY‘s ability to overcome. “CORROSIONOFCONFORMITY and the prior records I’ve done with them didn’t just go away,” Keenan observes. “It’s an honor to be back out there and have an opportunity to do it again in a real way and not some washed-up reunion thing. Even before we wrote the record, we were out there for a year seeing there was a demand for it and that there was a void that we could fill. That’s been CORROSIONOFCONFORMITY‘s deal from day one. We’re not chasing anybody around. We’re not gonna worry about what the new trends are. CORROSIONOFCONFORMITY is CORROSIONOFCONFORMITY.”

CORROSIONOFCONFORMITYwill join Black Label Society for a mammoth North American live takeover this winter. The tour begins December 27th, 2017 in Denver, Colorado and will wind its way through nearly four dozen cities, the journey coming to a close February 27th, 2018. Additional support will be provided by Eyehategod and Red Fang on select shows. See all confirmed dates below.
